Exactly what causes gambling addiction is not known. As many other addictions, it may be both nature and nurture. Research does however show that the majority of gambling addicts also are addicted to something else, most commonly alcohol and other substances. It is common for addicts to replace one addiction with another, as they generally are looking for a thrill - the next kick. And some are determined to destroy their own lives as they believe they do not deserve being happy or at peace. A lot of people do not gamble primarily for the financial rewards which it might bring, but rather to reduce anxiety and other negative emotions. The gambling may generate the same kind of kick and thrill which may be equivalent to that of alcohol and drugs.

Sweden further has a function called Spelpaus. This translates to Gamepause in English. A player can, by using this tool, exclude himself from all casinos which have a Swedish licence - both land-based and online. We do also offer self-exclusion, but this would only be on our platform. The time which are available to exclude for are: 24 hours, 1 week, 1 months, 3 months, 1 year. The player will exclude themselves using BankID.

You have to set certain limits to your account. These are deposit and session limits. Should you further feel like you are not in control of your gambling, we suggest that you utilise our self-exclusion tool. You can also contact our customer support department for further assistance.

Denmark has a similar function called ROFUS. A player will have the opportunity to take a 24-hour break from gambling or a temporary break of 1, 3, or 6 months. A player will also have the opportunity to self-exclude permanently. The temporary exclusions will automatically be lifted when the period expires on the exact time. Should a player have chosen to self-exclude permanently, he/she can request the Danish Gambling Authority to have his/her registration removed one year after his/her registration at the earliest. To have the registration in ROFUS removed, a player must log into www.rofus.nu using his/her NemID. The request must be confirmed by logging into www.rofus.nu no earlier than seven days and no later than 30 days after the request was made.
